CAVE PROPERTY IN THE OZARKS: CALICO ROCK, ARKANSAS : There are 4 known caves partially explored with approximately 4 miles of passages mapped at this time. The 2 larger caves are Bergren and Needles which have flow stone formations and are approximately 60 degrees year round. The water and temperature of the caves allow for a perpetual eco system that has survived for millenia with its own flora and fauna. The openings to these large caves could allow a tractor/trailer truck to enter. This unique property is accessed by a 4500' paved driveway that takes you on a journey from lime stoned formation heights gently carving a winding trail downward 140 vertical feet through a forest of cedar and mixed hardwoods to the verdant home site at the center of the 40.00 acres. Along the way to the home site on the left of the road is a large 2 story storage/shop building with a drilled well (pump ready) and electric supply. Aggregate finish pool deck surrounds a heated/cooled pool fed by a cascading waterfall into the depths of the teal blue water. The pool/patio area has a fire pit and all is embraced by lush plantings artistically designed by a professional landscaper.
